Thrash metal recommendations
 

I'm listening to Blood Tsunami right now. Who else should I check out?

(If you don't like all the recommendation threads lately, suck it!)

Obliveon
Municiple Waste
Overthrow


I don't listen to too much thrash, so I'm not a huge help in this recommendation thread :(

I could recommend tons of old bands, but I guess you have heard most of them.

Nah, I haven't heard any old bands, so recommend away

SLAYER

This has got me in the mood for some old school thrashing. Here's to titanic riffs and terrible album covers!

Staple thrash:
Sodom
Destruction
Kreator
Dark Angel
Exodus
Vio-Lence
Sepultura

Prog/tech thrash:
Mekong Delta
Artillery
Coroner
Biomechanical
Voivod
Watchtower

Black/Death Thrash:
Vader
Andralls
Torture Squad
Celtic Frost
Ghoul
Destroyer 666
Sauron
Absu
Slaughter

General/Crossover Thrash:
D.R.I.
Heathen
Carnivore
Municipal Waste
Nuclear Assault
Hirax
Exhorder

Plenty more where that came from. Mekong Delta is my favourite thrash band.

Hey Jackhammer, I'd like some recomendations for some heavy, old-school stuff that's more prog than straight thrash. I know a little Vovoid, and I hear Celtic Frost were pretty progressive.

Picks?

Try:

CELTIC FROST-INTO THE PANDEMONIUM
FATES WARNING-ANY!
VOIVOD-DIMENSION:HATROSS
ANACRUSIS-SUFFERING HOUR
BLIND ILLUSION-THE SANE ASYLUM-this one features Les Claypool and Larry Lalonde pre-Primus!
There is plenty more when my old mind remembers.


Nice list Seltzer, a few names I'm not familiar with.
